Sweet, sassy & stubborn: That's my Emma at 5 months!!!
And I wouldn't have it ANY other way!!!!
People always say the second child is always more "difficult." First of all, it's so hard calling Emma the "second" child, but I have succumbed to society knowing it's easier saying it then having to explain that technically she's my "fourth" child......
Anyway, enough about that....Onto this challenging little girl that I call my pretty princess!! Emma's fifth month I think was the absolute most challenging by far. *Sleep Regression* hit....HARD. I will be blogging about this experience. *Rolling over* for the first time took place, but getting there wasn't easy! During this month, I honestly felt like a first time parent again. Things that worked for Ethan, do not work for this girl. She definitely marches to the beat of her own drum. At five months Emma:
*Weighs about 17lbs 8oz
*Knows how to roll over
*Is smiling and giggling at your reflection
*Grabs for something, and usually gets it the first try....and then crams it in her mouth
*Started solids::(rice cereal(she tolerates)), avocados(she tolerates & will only eat off of my finger), sweet potatoes(also tolerate and will only eat off of my finger)...notice a trend? This evening, I smashed a banana and she ate like a champ....from a spoon!
*"Talking" more & more
*Is getting better at her ability to self-soothe
*Started sleeping in her own crib at night
*Loves to be rocked
*I saved the best for last......Emma successfully took a bottle...yesterday and today. Tonight was the first night in five months that someone else put her down for the night besides me! I never thought I would be SO excited about a bottle!!!
Happy 5 months princess!!!!
